The new site includes a Greenspace that has been designed to create an environmentally conscious, calming space for headspace clients and the community to enjoy. This space, combined with a specialist Occupation Therapy Room will improve the services available to the Bathurst community.
Charitable Foundation Chair, Phil Neat said mental health is a key issue affecting the well-being of youth in our community.
“Part of a whole-of-community approach to this issue is to ensuring quality social infrastructure exists to support accessible health services, outside of the purely clinical setting. That’s why we are proud to partner with Marathon Health to give headspace Bathurst this brilliant new space,” Phil said.
As part of Australia’s national youth mental health foundation, headspace Bathurst provides early intervention mental health services to youth, aged 12 to 25, centering on assisting their well-being. Services provided span four core areas: mental health, physical health, work and study support, and alcohol and other drug services.
